This is the launch page for the pages here at Gizmo's Freeware that list sites with free ebooks and audiobooks by genre. See related links below for listing eBooks and audiobooks by alphabet and on the format of the ebooks, Kindle, ePub and Online Reading.

There are well over a million free ebooks and audiobooks at the sites listed within these pages. I hope you enjoy the content. If you have a genre or other interest that you would like added to these listings, you may contact me or post in the comments below.

To the best of my knowledge all of the websites listed here offer only content that they are legally entitled to transfer to you and safe for downloads. If you find a site listed here that you know illegally offers copyrighted material or if you ever encounter malware on any of these sites, please report below with a link to the infringing content.

You may already know of this site:
The University of Virgina has a VERY OLD, and now abandoned in place, library of selected Hypertexts ... a few of which are good reads.
The link is old, and very obscure: I saw some DUST fall off when I first clicked on it! http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/main.html
(Darn I hate to see a project RUSTING in cyberspace like this .... :( )
When WAS that page last updated, anyway? I suspect it originated about the era of Windows 3.1 ~~~~~ 'cause that URL is very 'DOS like' ....

As of April 19, 2013, all pages have been updated and all links have been checked with LinkChecker and are working.
I will be unavailable for most of the time during the next month and usually will not be able to respond to posts.
However, I will be back after that, so any new sites or corrections to the listings that you post would be appreciated even though I may not be able to respond when you post.

I feature out of copyright works. Now the most recent book featured was .99 - but that is the first time in probably a year that I wrote about a book that was not free. It is the second volume of Proust. The first volume is free and that is how they hook you! : )

Thank you for considering my blog. It appeals to a narrow readership, but those who like out of copyright books have nowhere else to go to find books that are not the same top 100 and which have been vetted for conversion problems.

Maybe I am the only one who cares but I sure would like to see a category for "Philosophy Books" The are NOT "Religion and Spirituality" books. That may be too technical a division for many of the website owners you list but it would sure help. There is a vast difference between the topic of revealed faith and belief compared to reason. If fact St Thomas Aquinas carefully worked out the difference at the start of his Summa Theologiae 800 years ago based on sound, deductive reasoning.

Pardon the lecture; I could have just said "Gee Whiz! A category for Philosopy Books would be nice." :)

I also appreciate the hard work to collect this sort of thing. It is not easy to keep up to the minute with it because websites come and go. Thank you!

Somewhere in the back of my mind is the thought that I started a Philosophy page, but could not find enough sites. Reasoning is not that popular.
I will take another look around after this round of updates as it is a good area that deserves a page.
Thanks. I am always looking for new ideas.
Steve.
EDIT: I take that back. A quick search finds quite a few sites. I will get a page up soon.
